Harris has been amazing in Orlando..I just hope they can build a team around him and not let him waste away in irrelevance.

Take it you don't know much about Orlando's roster?

Nikola Vucevic puts up insane numbers and Mo Harkless has a bright future as well.

C Nikola Vucevic
F Tobias Harris
F Mo Harkless

That could be a dangerous team in the future. Vucevic set a franchise record for rebounds in a game with 29. We're talking about something Shaq and Dwight never did while with Orlando. The kid is just 22 and he's good. In the month of April Orlando played the Rockets, Spurs, Bulls(x2), Cavs, Bucks, Celtics and Heat. 7 of those 8 games were against playoff teams. In the final month of the season against them he averaged 18.5pts 15.3rebs 2.8asts 1.5blks 1.5stls while shooting 50.8% from the field.

So yeah, Tobias shouldn't be wasted in Orlando with that trio. Tobias and Vucevic are both monsters and Mo Harkless is only 19 but has a bright future as well. He's only averaging 8.2pts, 4.4rebs and 1.2stls in 26.0mpg but he's shooting 46.1%. That's a high percentage for anyone let alone someone so young. Orlando should be exciting to watch in the future, that's for sure.

Take it you don't know how the NBA works? Unless you have the best player or three top 20 players you don't win. Orlando has 0. Unless your the heat thunder or spurs there's no reason to be in the nba at the moment. Go heat.

Uh, okay?

How'd the Pistons win a championship then...

And why did the Heat lose in the championship to the Mavs?

Mavs didn't have three top 20 players or the best player.

We'll see... The Heat may be the favorite but don't be too shocked if the Heat get bounced in the finals if not by the Knicks or Pacers. The Pacers were up 2-1 on them in the playoffs last year and were 2-1 against the Heat during the regular season this season. Pacers also beat the Heat last season the last time they played. So if you're keeping count, the Heat are 5-5 against the Pacers in the last 10 games. Heat beat the Pacers in the playoffs when it counted but whose to say they would again? The Celtics were old as dirt and the took the Heat to 7. Thunder lost Harden but Durant, Westbrook and Ibaka were all just 23 years old in the finals. They're young enough that they could be improved this season.

Teams with size like the Thunder(Perkins/Ibaka), Pacers(Hibbert/West), Knicks(Chandler/Kenyon), Clippers(Blake/Jordan), and Grizzlies(Gasol/Zbo) all present mismatches. It only takes one team to beat the Heat and those teams have a punchers chance because Chris Bosh is lanky and Joel Anthony/Udonis Haslem are undersized for centers. I'm not saying the Heat aren't the favorites but they're not invincible. I wouldn't chalk them up as the champions just yet. And I certainly wouldn't chalk up the Thunder/Spurs as making the finals. The Clippers, Grizzlies and Nuggets could easily take them down. If I was predicting, I would pick the Thunder and Heat to go to the finals but I'm not penciling them as a sure thing. Both can be beaten and if the Heat/Thunder have your attitude, they will be.

By the way, you contradict yourself by claiming to know how the NBA works and then say Orlando has 0 of the best players. No one said they did and nobody said they'll compete next year. The point was, they have three guys that could all be great. Vucevic and Tobias were putting up star numbers consistently and they're just 22 and 20. And Mo Harkless has potential to be a great player as well. He's just 19 years old. I never said the Magic were going to win a championship tomorrow but they're building a team that could win a championship in the future. They have what looks to be 3 great pieces. I was just telling the person that Tobias won' be wasted in Orlando because he's growing up with two other young players that have bright futures.

Disagree. A proud Hoosier and Pacers fan by blood. Who on the Pacers is a top 20 player?


None are....but they still beat your heat 2 out of 3 times this year as well as the clippers, and thunder. You don't need all stars. Not saying they will win the trophy, but they have a good solid team in place. #1 defense in league is pretty good for a lot of no names eh?


Remember the pistons from 5 years ago or so? Wallace, Prince, Billups, Hamilton, etc. the Pistons had a great TEAM and chemistry and that's what won them a
Championship, not all star players or top. Bandwagon.

Oh, and all that was without our captain of the last 5 years. Bandwagon.

Hope you'll be on the NBA forum throughout playoffs. Or perhaps you post on PacersDigest? I post over there as well. So yeah, we don't have a lot of Pacer fans on VN so it would be cool if you check in on the NBA forum during the playoffs. :hi:

Good for Tobias, though. I'm thinking about picking up his jersey. Love seeing former Vols showing out in the league.
